Avoid the Storm, Chase the Sun
A week ago we had to cancel a prenup shoot due to a huge storm that is right over the city. We were all hoping it would not hit on the day of the prenup, but when we woke up that day, the howling winds was what greeted us a good morning. Do you know how it feels to cancel a shoot? It feels weird, because all the pent up excitement and the images in your head are put on a shelf until further notice. And throughout the day, the thought lingers whether we made the right decision or not, especially during hours when the storm calms down. Fast forward…

Two Sides of Taal Lake
I never knew Taal Volcano was such a nice place to do a prenup, even if we had to deal with the heat and the costs of renting a horse it was so worth it. Up to our second set and on our way back, I realized a familiar mountain where I also did a prenup a few years back, so I took a photo for posterity. Now I have prenups on both sides of the lake.

Ronald and Jennifer – Mater Dolorosa Parish
Sometimes I get to shoot as second camera for a wedding, when a couple books a photographer in our team, the backup is assigned by the studio among whoever is available in the team. And at these times, my shots are complimentary of the main, and focused on the groom. I wasn’t planning on posting this set though, but when I browsed this folder while archiving my files I thought: “Hey, this was a pretty fun wedding, why not share some shots?”. I remember the fun personality of Ronald and his best man, I remember how we almost got lost trying to find the church, and how most of their…

Mga Tunay na Bayani
It was an unusual concept for me, mainly because as a man I can only understand up to such a degree, the significance of breastfeeding and the connection it creates between mother and child. So arriving at the grounds of the AFP really got me searching and trying to understand the message of who I’ll be taking portraits of. Upon entering the lobby we were introduced to a company of happy and very energetic ladies (we could hear them laughing from the other room), at first glance looked like any other person you’d meet in your everyday life, but upon hearing their stories later on and why they are participating…

Work is a Blessing – Sand Man
“Patience is a virtue” – William Langland I remember when I was in Singapore I lined up to order food at a hawker stall that had the sign “Best Satay Ever”. The server would tell his customers to come back after ten minutes. So while still waiting in line, one foreigner comes back to the stall to follow up on her order. The server tells her that it’s still only 5 minutes and their dishes takes time to prepare, he then told the customer” “You can’t rush art!”. That took me by surprise, but when I eventually got my order I was pretty impressed, the food is good! Two days…

Eliel and Jennifer – Fernbrook Wedding
Eliel had a big smile during their first dance, he and Jennifer were laughing, I don’t know why, but I know they were happy. It was a beautiful sight, as they danced in front of everyone but only focused on each other. It was a beautiful way to enter a new chapter in a God written love story. Eliel and Jennifer wouldn’t want it any other way.

Does It Make a Difference?
Have you set out to try to make an impact in this world and somewhere along the way you ask yourself that same question? “Does it make a difference?”. It seems like for all the good we try to do individually, it doesn’t seem to make any impact in light of all the bad news that is around us. The world is just too dark. Today during the anniversary service of Christ’s Commission Fellowship, Pastor Peter Tan Chi delivered a message reminding us of a little truth. Individually our actions may be small, but together it will create an impact. I’m sure you’ve heard of that concept before but probably…
